Intimidation Clothing once again had a very busy weekend, as the summer months have set a new standard for the brand. August has been one of the best in company history, and along with providing record numbers in sales, Intimidation continues to sponsor the many of the top fighters and MMA promotions in the Midwest. As the brand featured crews at events in Indiana, Michigan and multiple events in Ohio, it was the Intimidation sponsored pros that did the hard work at events across the nation.

Intimidation was live on hand at NAAFS: Rock N Rumble 7 in Cleveland, Ohio, with multiple fighters sponsored on the card. Most notably, featherweight Antonio Castillo Jr. (8-4, pictured left) earned a 145-pound title shot with his second round submission over Brett Ewing (4-4). John Hawk (8-5) also put on a Fight of the Night performance in the night’s main event, although he came up just short of victory by losing a decision.

Near Pittsburgh, Intimidation sponsored fighters Shane Chojnacki (3-0) and Anthony Durnell (10-2) took home victories in the main and co-main events, with both fighters receiving great fights from tough opponents. Chojnacki competed for Pinnacle Fighting Championships in his hometown of the Steel City for the first time, and the Fight Club Pittsburgh product earned a second round submission over previously unbeaten foe Reggie Parks (2-1). Durnell put on a Fight of the Night performance against Amran Aliyev (3-3) in the co-headliner, and announced that he has signed a developmental deal with Bellator MMA, where he will compete in November.

Meanwhile, at IT Fight Series 22 in Findlay, Ohio, Intimidation sponsored fighter Robbie “The Machine” Michaels (1-0, pictured right) was successful in his pro debut, as he took home a unanimous decision win over Chad Kelly (0-1). Michaels is now 6-0 overall after finishing off a 5-0 amateur career earlier this year.

Finally, in action at MMA events in Indiana and Idaho Carson Gainey and Chuck Fordyce both came up short of their goal for the weekend while supported by the Intimidation brand.

The Intimidation brand wrapped up the most successful weekend in company history on Sunday after an outpouring of support by fans from across the Midwest at the 2013 Arnold Sports Festival. Featuring a booth stocked full of high quality lifestyle apparel and pro fighters signing autographs, Intimidation was a huge hit at the event which saw well over 100,000 people through the doors during the three day event. Sponsored athletes competed in Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai and powerlifting sporting the Intimidation name and a variety of celebrities stopped for pictures with the Intimidation crew. Photos with Randy Couture, Mauricio “Shogun” Rua, Urijah Faber and more can be found on the Intimidation Clothing Facebook page as Intimidation was heavily seen on the backs of fans and fighters alike in the crowd, at the booth and all across the booming city of Columbus, Ohio throughout the weekend.

While the new “Shamrocked” tee was easily the highlight of the weekend on the sales side, the Intimidation booth never lacked traffic thanks to a combination of great selection, fun scratch off cards, prizes and of course, our awesome sponsored athletes. Jessica Eye drew much attention online prior to the event and even went into sales mode helping draw fans to the booth on Saturday as she and top prospect Isaiah Chapman both signed autographs. A day prior, Dan Spohn set the table for Brian Rogers and Wes Sims as each signed for fans while sharing stories and taking pictures throughout. Finally, on Sunday, Ronin Training Center’s own Luke Zachrich, a UFC and Bellator vet, went out of his way to take pictures with young fans as he and his gym continue to help the Intimidation brand grow its name in the Central Ohio market.

Not to be overlooked are the many sponsored fighters who stopped by the booth throughout the weekend. From amateur MMA fighters from SkrapHouse MMA and Ronin Training Center in Central Ohio to Cleveland/Akron area gyms Strong Style, GriffonRawl and Rock Hard MMA, as well as Evolve MMA’s own John Cook, the fighters enjoyed the weekend and were able to brave the huge crowds and lines to stop in if only just to say hello. In addition, many of the top prospects from across the region stopped in for pictures including Invicta FC’s Jessamyn “The Gun” Duke, fast-rising Isaac Steele, heavyweight Tim “Fatboy” Dunn, former NAAFS Heavyweight Champion “Big” John Hawk, former NAAFS Middleweight Champion Travis “The Terror” Clark, UFC veteran Sean “Big Sexy” McCorkle, Pittsburgh’s own Shane Chojnacki, TUF vet Casey Dyer and more. Nearly every Intimidation sponsored pro stopped to take a picture at the Intimidation Clothing booth with a complete album of 2013 Arnold Sports Festival photos available on the company’s Facebook page.

Intimidation’s contacts outside of just fighters were also quite apparent. Rick Pyles and Jason Percell from the Columbus-based UVC, Jeremy Boling from the newly-formed Midwest Fight Series and Roger Moran of the EAC were just a few of the representatives from MMA promotions sponsored by Intimidation throughout the Midwest. Meanwhile the crew from Advanced Sports Labs, the MMA blood test industry leaders, was on hand throughout the weekend spreading the word about their many services.

Not to be overlooked, while Intimidation was in attendance at the Arnold the crew was also sponsoring Rocktagon 24 in Cleveland, Ohio. Intimidation recently signed on with Rocktagon as the MMA promotion continues their expansion across the USA with another event in April held in Indianapolis, Indiana. Also in action was sponsored American Top Team product Oscar Delgado as he improved his pro record to 6-2 with a 1st round KO of Byron Byrd at CFA 10 near Miami, Florida.
